It was commissioned with Radioactive Ion Beams (RIB’s) in 2017. MEDICIS has operated for the past 5 years in batch mode, with targets irradiated in a station located at the HRS beam dump, and with external sources provided by MEDICIS cyclotrons and nuclear reactors partners, notably during the Long Shutdown (LS2). Additional features of the facility include the MELISSA laser ion source, radiochemistry on implanted radionuclides and an online gamma-ray spectroscopy implantation monitoring. In 2022, we introduced Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) to monitor the operation of the facility for collected efficiencies, the optimisation of the radiological risks and evaluate impact of possible modifications of the station, paralleling for instance LHC’s integrated luminosity. Defined KPI’s cover aspects in the operation cycle, e.g. planning in CERN schedule, target irradiations, duration of the process, radiological risk mitigation, facility up-time, developments and maintenance. MEDICIS KPI’s can help distinguish which of the operation and infrastructure life cycle requires immediate intervention, developments or consolidation. Those are related to the irradiation stations and irradiation possibilities, the beamlines (parallel collections), target and ion sources (reliability), robot handling and infrastructure, or the separation process itself.}, number = {8}, urldate = {2024-05-02}, journal = {Journal of Physics: Conference Series}, author = {Stora, T and Duchemin, C and Andreazza, W and Aubert, E and Bernerd, C and Cocolios, T and Deschamps, M and Dorsival, A and Duraffourg, M and Fedosseev, V and Somoza, J Ferreira and Gilardoni, S and Grenard, J L and Heinke, R and Johnson, J and Koliatos, A and Khan, Q and Lambert, L and Mamis, E and Marsh, B and Marzari, S and Mitifiot, C and Pozzi, F and Prvakova, S and Rinchet, J Y and Rodriguez, J Rodriguez and Roesler, S and Rossel, R and Rothe, S and Vollaire, J and Widorski, M}, month = jan, year = {2024}, keywords = {scientific-publication}, pages = {082039}, }
